The Environmental and Climate Justice Program is hosting a youth delegation to Iceland! The journey will inspire, uplift, and support the leadership of African American and Indigenous/First Nations youth living in coastal areas of the United States who will take the lessons learned in Iceland back home and address sea level rise in their communities. The NAACP ECJ Youth Delegation will gain a deeper understanding of biodiversity, climate justice, and environmental policy.
